I love that he says "you can have a million watt light" but in my head I just see the entire town blacking out, and the windows in my house shining beams of light like I live in a spaceship lol
Hi! Great Video! Thank you for taking the time to show people how to set stuff up. I just wanted to clear a few things in case anyone might be curious about the technicalities. 2:05 PPF stands for Photosynthetic Photons Flux and is simply a measure of flux in micromoles per meter squared per second - umol/m2*s - (which is essentially a unit of quantity divided by the product of unit of area and unit of time). 2:12 Micro moles are NOT wavelengths, they are simple units of quantity because light can be "quantized" in either units of energy (watts or joules) or units of quantity (moles) - example: one mole of tennis balls is roughly 600 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 tennis balls. PAR is Photosynthetically Active Radiation (radiation between the wavelengths of ~400-750nm) - essentially radiation that can "trigger" photosynthesis. The actual PAR wavelength range is "getting wider" as researchers have shown that UV (far blue/purple) and far red wavelengths can trigger photosynthesis too. Since light can behave as both a wave and a particle, PAR can be expressed in energetic units Watts per square meter or in physical units micro moles per square meter. Hope this is interesting for any of my fellow nerds out there! Cheers
I used to box, didn’t really have it tho lol saying that to say I learned not just what to do and when but why and simply. Great vid man. Very detailed, yet simple.
Love your work and love your Vibe =) Learning a lot, and sometime learning again but this kinda channel makes watching these Videos a real pleasure !!!
i have the OG r spec. It is stupid awesome. The bars on mine are black and don't say R-Spec on it. Everything else is the same. Picked it up as soon as it dropped and have been loving it every since.
Stand back ladies there's no telling how bright that things going to be. Gary you sold the light when you had to put the shades on I'll be purchasing one from you one cool dude okie dokie stay cool peace out
As long as the light is between 400-700nm intensity is more important than spectrum. According to Dr Bugbee of apoge instruments and the studies his college has done. I love the quantum boards. Am building a qb132x8 fixture for my 5x5.
A Digital adjustable 250W-660W HPS costs a lot less and produces ambient heat during winter. Also produces bigger yields. In fact a 400W HPS would outperform any LED light in that size space.
I raised my son in Franklin County PA. He is raising his family in Duncannon, PA. He was born here in Illinois. This will be my first grow. I build beautiful gardens outside. This is my medication. Thank you for the DIY. I'm a widow. I didn't have a clue on how I was going to get this started.
i was thinking to get the 5x5 tent and slap in one of my hlg=550. u say u only need the 4x4 tent for that but im thinking this way i can put stuff on the side if i need to put something in there like a dehumidifier etc.
I really enjoy your videos for knowledge Bought a CLOUDLINE mixed flow duct fan It comes with sensors Using it to draw my air out of my tent Fresh air to my room ? Is another fan needed to draw fresh air in from outside or can I draw from my grow room it self ?
Out of all the videos I watch yours are the best. Can you please do a video on a diy water chiller? Or link for a resonable priced 1 for a 4 bucket with res.
Gary I'm in a wheelchair. Would a tent be a smart choice, or with the wheelchair would I be better off turning my extra room into my grow room. I'm in Illinois, and a med canabis patient and we can have 5 adult plants and 5 starters at a time. So if I cover my room in mylar and set up vent system how big a led would I need to grow 5 at a time. I'm in alota pain and dispensary here costs 390 a oz. So I gotta start growing my own potent meds.
Hey there, you can definitely just set it up in a room and then you will be able to maintain it easier, tents are nice for somethings but in your case I would set a nice area up and maybe run an HLG 550 R-Spec and that would rock 5 plants. Hope this helps:) Gary
Awesome videos! My ceilings limit my tent height to 6'7", do you think this light could be overkill in later stages where the distance from the light could fall below 24 inches? If so any recommendations on lights for that setup, I'd hate to limit my light output by dimming especially during bloom because I want to prevent light burn.
I can't believe how the LED industry came in, changed the terminology, TOLD everyone they'd have better yields, and just about everyone fell for it. It's cool, as it's made me separate myself from the pack
Gary I'm interested on the full kit 1.question that lite is it good all the way from seed thru finish flowering or do I need a different light ? Thank you sir
A lot of factors play into that but I can say for sure that our tester ran it against a 1000 watt hortilux HPS with same strains and yield was only down 15% but used less than half the power! ( Hort was 1060 watt , HLG was 500 from wall) Oil production was up tho. In a 4x4 you should get over 1 P. Thanks for watching! Gary
Hey man, the last couple shipments of these had an actual dimmer knob, but the others have a small rubber cap on the ballast, take that off and use a small screwdriver and it can be dimmed down to halfway. Hope this helps! Gary
J Perks I know that the Hydro-x controller by Trolmaster will work for remote dimming. Its the LMA-14 adapter that is for the ballast on the HLGs and their Hydro-x controller.
Hey Gary, love the light bro! I recently got the Fluence Spydrx Plus and correct me if I’m wrong. But ain’t the 550 you have pretty much has the same if not close to what the Fluence kicks out. I know the price is more expensive than the 550. Just wondering what your thoughts are. Love all your videos!
I like this better for price and I dont bash other brands, the plus is to big and hard to get around when Im moving stuff around like filters, light height etc. You have a good light and I havent seen a side by side vs the 550 but I do know someone from my store that said the 550 out did the plus but the even canopy coverage you get is a major plus?? I dont know, like I said in this video "people can drive themselves crazy trying to figure out what LED to buy" either way you should be very happy with your light :) Thanks for watching! Gary
J B hlg sent both to a lab and posted tests on website. Per the lab tests the hlg outperformed the Fluence light. Personally they are very similar. I do like how the spyder spreads out the light better. Really better for a 5x5. Regardless the amount of light each puts out it’s a moot point on a 4x4 even in corners. Enough easily for flowering. Well Over 700par. Regardless the pricing on the hlg is hard to beat. I know even some of the Chinese boards and clones have done better in pricing. But reserve my opinion here as they are not in the same class as these.
I wanted the 550 but picked using 2 of rspec 320s instead. If a driver was to die then I can still limp at 1/2 light until the new one arrives. Did the same when I was running two CMH315s instead of a single 600.
Great videos. 1st time using this light. Thank u by the way. For veg how bright should I turn this thing up tho? I'm so use to a veg switch then and bloom switch. So I have no clue how bright I should turn this thing up. I actually hook a dimmer knob to mine. No clue how far to turn knob up..lol..
Marissa Awesome have been experimenting with mine. Found that 40% worked really well during my veg. To keep all my environmentals and good plant growth. But now have been working at 75% for the past day or so on the hlg600. Seedlings and just starting veg you definitely have to turn it down. I was having signs of the leaves curling and drying up from the sheer amount of light. Many recommendations using a lux meter to get it right at 15,000 lux for veg. I had it less with great results. I am moving though to a par sensor on my hydrox controller to help automatically control my output depending on growth and environmentals. Good luck.
bit big for a 4x4- also pretty expensive for what it is as theres a few others (same or very similar specs) alot cheaper ( some not knock offs), not that it will make a difference in a 4 x 4
Damn.. I want that freakin sweet light. Most definitely going to be buying one. Do u know if mushrooms benefit from all the spectrums of light the same as plants?
@Joshua Greenspan cool thanks for the knowledge. Im fixing to order some spores online from Spore Prints, are they legit; They have a weird thing where they want u to pick something equal to the price of what u order and its a little whack. Have u ever dealt with or heard of these guys?
Hello, good question and yes that would help with that big of a tent. You could zip tie them right to the poles and that should fill in the plants nicely> Thanks for watching! Gary
Hey Gary, what was the place you suggested to go to "hear what real growers have to say" it sounded like you said bare news but I cant quite make out what it was. Thanks.
If I can’t afford the 550 right away, what would be a god alternative to the hlg series, could I just double up on some hlg 100 v2 in a 4x4 or would that be more ideal for a 3x3
You might as well just run a cmh315 from growers choice . Not a bad light but for the price it's good enough until you save a little extra for that HLG550 , I recently scored a killer deal from OpticLedGrowLightDepot for $725 for HLG550v2 RSpec .
Daniel Yes you can remote mount the ballasts. Also new version comes with a updated driver and dimming knob. I have the hlg600 and have it hooked up to a trolmaster unit and also able to use the system to dim automatically depending on what the light sensor is reading. Pretty cool light, should be mentioned definitely gonna be using the dimming function. Ive come from hps/mh years ago and many benefits here. Long term costs are cheaper, less heat is the main benefit. But they are expensive up front. I do not see the technology though replacing this light totally within the next 10years.. A solid purchase.
Hello, good question, this light does get hot but not as hot as an open reflector 600 hps, but if it was an air cooled 600 watt then I would say the 550 puts out more heat. BUT this light will blow away the yield of a 600 hps so hmm. Thanks for watching. Gary
Good question! I have used it from start to finish, it has plenty of blue and also the added red for blooming, not much stretch during vegging either, excellent light and I'm sticking with it :) Have as good one. G
We have a very nice store located in the beautiful rolling hills of Adams County Pennsylvania. If you can't come in and visit the store you can go online here.... shop.pahydroponics.com/ Thanks for watching.
Ok so I’m confused I added the cost of the rent the light the vent the scrubbing machine. It’s well over a few thousand all to grow garden stuff in the house during the winter. Is the sorta thing for the rich
This is a 4x4 setup which is a pretty good size. If you only want to grow garden stuff go with a smaller tent, which means smaller light and filtration setup. LEDTonic makes a nice Z2 light.
Do you sell the complete tent with everything you've shown in your guides. Like the tent + 4 plant fallponic system + ventillation + light. I'm looking for an all- in-1 purchase.
I thought it was strange as well... after a little thought though... you are putting that extra downforce on the tent when you pull. When you lift, you lift the light at the same time taking weight off the tent. -wayne
These lights are very intense. Some customers have stated that they have had to turn them down because the plants were showing signs of burning, so you are not alone in your observations. The technology has come a long way. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@@PAHydroponics i had to cover my soil and improve my ventilation set up. They are recovering. Growing in the canadien arctic during winter is challenging and costly. Your videos have been a great help thank you.
@@mikestanley1979 yes i live in northernwestern canadien arctic. Its very dry here i could not keep the humidity at a proper level without causing my house become moldy. I have decided not to grow in winter. And just stick to spring summer and fall. I can bring in more fresh air and use rainwater. It gets -50c(-62f) here in winter. takes alot of energy to heat air that much. Sorry for any typos my phones screen is cracked, its hard to proof read.
Either a HLG100 or HLG300, available from our site: shop.pahydroponics.com/hlg-100-4k-for-veg-or-3k-flowering-full-spectrum-version-2/ or shop.pahydroponics.com/hlg-300-v2-free-shipping/
I put the ratchets on my light at the top of my tent so I could pull down for up. (Gorilla Shorty 2 x 2.5 [absolutely fantastic Brand-so sturdy and strong]. Am I doomed?
they should give you a few free ones....and give you a few free ones to raffle off too--that would be a win win. get raffle tickets for a purchase from your store.
Hey there, this light has dropped in price as HLG has streamlined there manufacturing here in the US so as of now on our website it is 799.95 with free shipping shop.pahydroponics.com/hlg-550-v2-r-spec-led-grow-light-free-shipping-limited-time/ awesome light and spectrum beats the cheap knock offs! Thanks for watching! Gary
I really like that 550 light and I am fairly new to this but in the 4x4 I was scared it does not get enough coverage all around for me I ended up getting 2 hlg 360 and it is way better Imo as far as some things but man I should of just tried it same price for the 2 but next time lol
im in nova scotia too i was thinking the exact same thing haha. i buy most of my stuff online. sometimes i get something in sackville or dartmouth, but thats rare now.
@@halburd1 lol yea man i here ya steves or the grow op on akerley.... theres a new one on pleasant st in dartmouth..havent bin there yet ..... cheers man 😎
Side by side... spec by spec Spiderfarmer crushes those HLGs Spiderfarmer has a better spectrum those HLGs only come in 3000k 3500k (mid range)or 4000k...Spiderfarmer has a mix of the 3000k and 5000k which gives the light a way better spectrum the only thing the HLGs have going for them is where they made but they get their parts from China and just assemble here and mark up the price...bottom line is don't get fooled by these people and buy a superior light with a way better spectrum at a way better price...they have great customer service and a 3 year warranty so if you want to grow better quality bud get you a Spiderfarmer
@Wesley Pritchett yeah but if you get a HLG you either get a 3000k for flower or a 4000k for veg or a mid spec 3500... Spiderfarmer blows those out of the grow room hell that 4000k is a soft white and the Spiderfarmer has the 5000k which is more like sunlight plus they have the 3000k mixed in...HLG parts come from China to, they just build the inferior lights and use the fact that they are made in America (which is not totally true)as a selling point and Jack up their prices don't be fooled...I can show you a side by side grow and prove what I say I know for a fact HLG are just a over priced light and inferior to boot
I love that he says "you can have a million watt light" but in my head I just see the entire town blacking out, and the windows in my house shining beams of light like I live in a spaceship lol
frickin cool man

Equaling about 850w of HPS is actually really close to the estimated numbers I came up with... Thank you for the honest comparison there.
Which is on par wich CMH ;-)
Yea baby hooking up my 600Rspec right now!
That is the same light I have, love it. the 3000k spectrum works wonders for veg and bloom.
Nice! Thanks for watching! Gary
My HLG light is crushing it and 0 complaints.
These vids are giving me motivation to get a second grow going!
Check & tighten screws holding the wires in the water proof connections, before installing.
You guys should really deliver to Canada, there some shops here but you guys literally have EVERYTHING!
Loving my 2 over my 4x8. They really put out!
That light will actually flower a5x5 tent! NO SHIT , I've seen it done! Awesome light man
I have 2 600 r specs in a 5×5!!!rockin it

How much weight would you say you can yield with one of these lights?
i have 2 of them lol
Mine has a dimmer knob too so no need for screwdriver!
You gotta buy this thing exactly.
I can't believe how the LED industry came in, changed the terminology, TOLD everyone they'd have better yields, and just about everyone fell for it. It's cool, as it's made me separate myself from the pack

Great content... THANK YOU!
you need to open a shop in Scotland
How many plants would you recommend for a 4x4 tent???
Gary I'm interested on the full kit 1.question that lite is it good all the way from seed thru finish flowering or do I need a different light ? Thank you sir
Anr Chava The HLG that Gary is talking about is good to use from seed to harvest. Very good light.
Im getting a for plant waterfall system. I'm building my own tent.
I got a 640 Growers Choice full spectrum.
How much average weight are you pulling with one of these lights Gary?
A lot of factors play into that but I can say for sure that our tester ran it against a 1000 watt hortilux HPS with same strains and yield was only down 15% but used less than half the power!

Would this 4x4 tent be able to handle the weight of a 600w hid with air cooled hood. Including 6in fan and carbon filter.
Nice video brotha I'm looking at that exact light, however still looking around what do you think about the Gavita led and the fluence led
This is probably a stupid question, but what kinds of fire risk do these high wattage leds carry?
Hey what do you attach to the four corners which ultimately connect to the ratchets been looking for those cant find them what are they called?
The ratchets connect right to the light, there is a hole and the ratchet clamps have a hook on them. Hope this helps! Gary
Hey man awesome videos. Got good equipment too. Do you know how to put a controller and dimmer on this hlg 550

@@PAHydroponics 24×24 ×55 tent and a horticulture light with carbon filter.. Hydrometer. How much $$ ???
@@PAHydroponics I will look at your online store What's the name of your online store ???
@@davidblack5551 here is a link to the store... shop.pahydroponics.com/
@@PAHydroponics . Thanks I've already been looking at your website 👍👍
Ok so I’m confused I added the cost of the rent the light the vent the scrubbing machine. It’s well over a few thousand all to grow garden stuff in the house during the winter. Is the sorta thing for the rich
There are cheaper light and just as good
This is a 4x4 setup which is a pretty good size. If you only want to grow garden stuff go with a smaller tent, which means smaller light and filtration setup. LEDTonic makes a nice Z2 light.
Do you sell the complete tent with everything you've shown in your guides. Like the tent + 4 plant fallponic system + ventillation + light. I'm looking for an all- in-1 purchase.
Eleafent gonna be 2000 dollars 💵 plus
The light alone is 1050.00
@@fsu3784 Oh yeah it is a expensive beast!
@@fsu3784 On sale on our website for 889$ and free shipping. FYI. Thanks for watching! Gary
PA Hydroponics no way?! Great price Gary I’ll check it out. Got 2 of the hlg 100s and 1 65 watt. Awesome lights
the ratchet cords are supposed to work by being pulled down and the item gets lifted . then press of a button to release
gary what's going on
I thought it was strange as well... after a little thought though... you are putting that extra downforce on the tent when you pull. When you lift, you lift the light at the same time taking weight off the tent.

Lifting is the correct way not pulling down.
Have one of these lights (newest generation). seem to have alot of issues. They seem to burn my plants.
These lights are very intense. Some customers have stated that they have had to turn them down because the plants were showing signs of burning, so you are not alone in your observations. The technology has come a long way. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@@PAHydroponics i had to cover my soil and improve my ventilation set up. They are recovering. Growing in the canadien arctic during winter is challenging and costly. Your videos have been a great help thank you.
U need airflow.I have 2 in a 5×5
@@mikestanley1979 yes i live in northernwestern canadien arctic. Its very dry here i could not keep the humidity at a proper level without causing my house become moldy. I have decided not to grow in winter. And just stick to spring summer and fall. I can bring in more fresh air and use rainwater. It gets -50c(-62f) here in winter. takes alot of energy to heat air that much. Sorry for any typos my phones screen is cracked, its hard to proof read.
I can plug 8 of these directly into a power bar? ... no electrician needed?
User One yes they come with a standard three prong plug. I have mine plugged into a timer controller in a power bar b
Hi, what light would you recommend for a 36" x 20" x 62" tent?
Either a HLG100 or HLG300, available from our site: shop.pahydroponics.com/hlg-100-4k-for-veg-or-3k-flowering-full-spectrum-version-2/ or shop.pahydroponics.com/hlg-300-v2-free-shipping/
Oh fuck...I want one of those bad boys so fucking bad XD
I didn't get anything extra in my box. 🤔 not even the ratchet ropes
Did you purchase an HLG from PA Hydroponics?
@@PAHydroponics yes from you dude. I. did get a nice t shirt. Orange, Jim's earthworms. My hlg 650 kicks ass tho, I got my first harvest recently
Switch the hand winches around and just pull down
That works too untill you have to reach the little tabs to let down light, then it would be harder to reach. Thanks for watching! Gary
@@PAHydroponics i'm with you on this one. that darn little tab is tough to reach high up
Do you offer financing
I need the cfm poles for the 4x4 gorilla tent
Best option right now is to go straight to Gorilla. That kit has not been east to get
1000th like good shit bro
I put the ratchets on my light at the top of my tent so I could pull down for up.
(Gorilla Shorty 2 x 2.5 [absolutely fantastic Brand-so sturdy and strong].
Am I doomed?
Hello, No your fine , that tent is a little short and easy to get to the ratchets so keep up the good growing :) Gary
what kind of setup do you run?
I'm pretty interested in cloning someones setup haha
i thought it would be easier reversing the ratchet so you pull down instead of up
they should give you a few free ones....and give you a few free ones to raffle off too--that would be a win win. get raffle tickets for a purchase from your store.
What is the price for this light thanks
Hey there, this light has dropped in price as HLG has streamlined there manufacturing here in the US so as of now on our website it is 799.95 with free shipping shop.pahydroponics.com/hlg-550-v2-r-spec-led-grow-light-free-shipping-limited-time/ awesome light and spectrum beats the cheap knock offs! Thanks for watching! Gary
I really like that 550 light and I am fairly new to this but in the 4x4 I was scared it does not get enough coverage all around for me I ended up getting 2 hlg 360 and it is way better Imo as far as some things but man I should of just tried it same price for the 2 but next time lol
2 - 360's should do great! Nothing wrong with that. Thanks for watching. Gary
It's supposed to cover a 4.5x4.5 foot print for flowering so 1 of these in a 4x4 tent should have been fine
Man i wish u would open up here in nova scotia lol we could use a good shop here instead of the criminals that set up shop here !!
im in nova scotia too i was thinking the exact same thing haha. i buy most of my stuff online. sometimes i get something in sackville or dartmouth, but thats rare now.
@@halburd1 lol yea man i here ya steves or the grow op on akerley.... theres a new one on pleasant st in dartmouth..havent bin there yet ..... cheers man 😎
How much electricity does this light consume?
490 watts from the wall,I love this light! Gary
Lol clowning on greensunshine
Side by side... spec by spec Spiderfarmer crushes those HLGs Spiderfarmer has a better spectrum those HLGs only come in 3000k 3500k (mid range)or 4000k...Spiderfarmer has a mix of the 3000k and 5000k which gives the light a way better spectrum the only thing the HLGs have going for them is where they made but they get their parts from China and just assemble here and mark up the price...bottom line is don't get fooled by these people and buy a superior light with a way better spectrum at a way better price...they have great customer service and a 3 year warranty so if you want to grow better quality bud get you a Spiderfarmer
@Wesley Pritchett yeah but if you get a HLG you either get a 3000k for flower or a 4000k for veg or a mid spec 3500... Spiderfarmer blows those out of the grow room hell that 4000k is a soft white and the Spiderfarmer has the 5000k which is more like sunlight plus they have the 3000k mixed in...HLG parts come from China to, they just build the inferior lights and use the fact that they are made in America (which is not totally true)as a selling point and Jack up their prices don't be fooled...I can show you a side by side grow and prove what I say I know for a fact HLG are just a over priced light and inferior to boot
Wow i deleted my RUclips app and the youtube website on my phone shows me much better videos from my searches...
I’ve found most apps suck compared with their websites.
I wish you would stop speeding through the close up nitty gritty actions. This is main thing to a demo
That's funny didnt get anything free in my box that I bought from you guys.
lol, i bought from them direct i got the mamoth P. which is a useless fake product ginmik thing any ways wish i got the one he got here lol.
lolz LED boards were such shit back in the day... worthless ha and you know what im talkin about 14watts ... bahaha
